Rik van Riel 0852b37417 x86/fpu: Add FPU state copying quirk to handle XRSTOR failure on Intel Skylake CPUs
On Skylake CPUs I noticed that XRSTOR is unable to deal with states
created by copyout_from_xsaves() if the xstate has only SSE/YMM state, and
no FP state. That is, xfeatures had XFEATURE_MASK_SSE set, but not
XFEATURE_MASK_FP.

The reason is that part of the SSE/YMM state lives in the MXCSR and
MXCSR_FLAGS fields of the FP state.

Ensure that whenever we copy SSE or YMM state around, the MXCSR and
MXCSR_FLAGS fields are also copied around.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
